MySpace wasn't prepared for Facebook, and ignored it until about 2009 when it was too late. People saw their friends on Facebook, so they stopped using MySpace (hence the network effect I mentioned earlier). Facebook /will/ fight for its social dominance, but (generally speaking) there is a site out there that they don't know about and won't be prepared for (aka "the next Facebook")
- true_religion 15y agoOne can fight and lose all the same. Friendster fought against MySpace et al, and still lost ground because of its poor architecture. Facebook being 4th generation social networking won't fail because of poor architecture, nor because of poor UI. It may fail due to privacy concerns though since its leadership seems fanatical about reducing restrictions to information, rather than allowing its users to segment themselves.
